Family-friendly holiday rentals in Boat Harbour

Had a great stay! The place was beautiful and exactly as described. The host was very helpful and kind. Thank you!

Had a most lovely time in the cabin. There are a few cabins in the location, all with enough space and spacing to let you feel like you are away from it all. The hot tub was lovely, being able to be accessed directly out the front of the cabin. There was plenty of glassware and other things so that if you wanted to you could use it. We brought our own, but you wouldn't need to. It's a great location, close to the beach and a short 10 to 15 minute drive to other nearby locations with lots of restaurant and food options.

Couldn’t recommend this place more! Vicki and Roger were the so kind and helpful our whole stay, made us feel right at home. It was a an absolute pleasure to stay in your cabin. The scenery and farm friends we loved and the hot tub was a lovely bonus! Everything was clean and we had everything we could need.

Our stay at Bella Vista was pure heaven. It’s been 10 days since we left and every day we have reminisced, scrolled through photos and contemplated when we can visit again! My son said today ‘I don’t want to go to school, why can’t we just live at Bella Vista!!’ This place was perfect for a family getaway. It was spacious, luxurious, peaceful and had everything we needed. The view is incredible. We can’t wait to go back.

We stayed here to attend a wedding at Eaglereach. It is remote, but not as hard to get to as we'd feared. The road up is narrow and windy, not as steep as I'd expected and tarred most of the way so quite driveable. The Gallery is one of a number of houses in the Eaglereach precinct, but others are barely visible so it is quite private. The house was comfortable but could be improved with a more up to date kitchen - there is no dishwasher, for example. It was a chilly weekend and I would have appreciated some heating in the bathroom, which is a bit spartan. Also we were surprised there was no doona on the bed and no electric blanket. But the location is what you pay for and it was beautiful and peaceful, and the wallabies do come right up to the back door!

Armando is a Super host. He looked after us very well. Even though we cut short our trip, we hope to enjoy Armando's home, in our next visit to Newcastle.

Bundera Lodge was great for a short holiday getaway. Wonderful views across the valley, peaceful surroundings, and most importantly a great coffee machine :) Tim was really helpful and gave clear instructions. Everything in the lodge was in the right place and was working. The kitchen was well-stocked and had a variety of pots, pans, and appliances for cooking up a feast. Thanks so much!

My partner and I stayed in Cadair Cottage 1 and we really really enjoyed our short time here. We were only here for a couple of nights but would have loved to extend our trip. There is so much to like about this place. Firstly, the surroundings are just absolutely beautiful - you are in nature and if you’re coming from a city landscape you’ll switch off so quickly. The cottage itself was spotless and had such a homely feel. All of the amenities you’d need with a fireplace, stove top, wifi, tv with foxtel and streaming - beautiful bedrooms and comfortable linen. The hot tub is also so nice to relax in and watch the sun come down. The yard (which is fully fenced) offers an expansive play area for your furry friends and our girl Peppa absolutely loved her time here too. She had so much fun. You are visited by neighbouring sheep and cows and it’s truly magical to watch them graze and trail by. Thank you, Simone - we can’t wait to return to this beautiful property again.

Joe's place was exactly as described - tranquile farm stay with all kinds of wildlife visits! It even had everything for breakfast - bread, eggs, cereals, coffee and fruits! even an avocado!!! we also needed some extra milk and he was able to help with that! thank you Joe - we'll come again!

We had such a lovely stay – the place was warm and cosy, perfect for a relaxing family retreat. It’s in a quiet bush setting but still super convenient, just a 10-minute drive to Merewether Beach and Hickson Street Lookout. We loved taking our dogs for walks along Merewether Beach and even found a great dog-friendly café nearby – the perfect spot for an early brekkie and sunrise. The lookout was stunning at sunset, though dogs aren’t allowed there, so we left ours in the car for a short while. The cottage has a big wooden table out on the deck, and we really enjoyed having lunch there, listening to the frogs singing while the dogs explored the garden. Such great value for a pet-friendly getaway. Thanks so much, Stewart!

We thoroughly enjoyed our second stay at Donna’s. Donna is always very helpful. We love the peacefulness and the lakeside view

We loved our stay at Lauren’s place! Beautiful, modern interior, walking distance to Shoal Bay for restaurants, pub, bike hire or to watch the dolphins at sunset. Or for the more intrepid, lots of hiking options right out the back door. The house was so well-equipped we also spent some days enjoying the pool, pizza oven and outdoor entertaining area. Highly recommended!

Great house to stay in! Very spacious and close to the beach/shops and a short drive from other surrounding beaches and shops. Amazing price for what you get as well. Lovely back yard and easy to get in to.

This is the second time we’ve visited Paul’s place and hopefully they’ll be another. It’s a quintessential Australian coast house, full of character and warmth. The beach is across the road and you fall asleep with the sound of the ocean. Heaven! Great back yard, everything you need and Paul is a 10 out of 10 host!

We had a great stay at Joanne’s place. It was right near a beautiful beach, and a short walk to great restaurants. It had everything that we needed, and a super comfy bed. Thanks for a great stay.

we had a beautiful stay in habitat. A good place to go reset, relax,unwind with the beach closely{walking distance}. Would definetly rebook and recommend.

We spent the weekend in the hunter and this place was the perfect fit for us! Very peaceful, warm in the winter nights , easy check in and a very helpful host throughout. Would recommend it! We also saw kangaroos which was a big plus for me!

I felt right at home from the start. The clear instructions for bedding and check-in made everything easy, and when I mentioned that one of the fridge seals was damaged, they quickly replaced the fridge the very next day. Amazing service!

We selected Ruth’s BnB based on availability and proximity to John Hunter Hosp. So very glad we did as we got an extremely flexible Hosp, air BnB that had a home feel and all the little nick nacks that you need in daily life that many BnBs don’t cover.

Tranquil Vale Vineyards has such beautiful views, it is so peaceful! The cottage is exactly as described, we had an issue on the first night with the ducted air con not working prior to us arriving - Connie had already arranged for additional heating for us which was more than ample to warm the cottage. This was promptly fixed the next morning and working with no issues for the rest of our stay. On our 2nd last day, we had an issue with the dishwasher not working properly - Connie went out of her way to assist and ensure we were not inconvenienced. The cottage is very comfortable, with all the amenities and inclusions as noted. Connie is a fabulous host, and the additional offerings of breakfast, bbq platter and charcuterie platter are so convenient. We especially loved the charcuterie platter with our wine tasting, the local produce with their olive oils are superb. We also enjoyed the wine tasting and took quite a few home to enjoy! Would highly recommend!

Place is amazing and very close to everything. Highly recommend to anyone

We had a lovely stay at One Mile Ridge. The kids loved the infinity pool & spa! The villa was clean and conveniently located within a short drive of beaches and shops.

great stay, easy access, quiet neighbourhood had everything we need for cooking home meals. near to supermarket thanks

The kids and I had the loveliest stay at Amanda’s house. It was so cosy & the host is amazing as well. Wished we booked longer!
